What is the best baby milk?

The best infant formula is the one with a specific formula aimed at the needs of the individual infant; similarly to mother's milk, its composition must continuously change to adapt to the nutritional needs of the newborn. For this reason, its composition changes in relation to the different age groups of the child.
The regulations in force which regulate the production of milk for babies are particularly restrictive since they allow the use of a limited number of substances: for this reason the differences between the various manufacturers are minimal.
It is usually recommended to change the type of infant formula in relation to the age of the infant, as each period of life requires a different nutritional intake depending on the infant's changing metabolic needs.
If problems of digestive intolerance towards artificial milk arise, it is always possible to change the formulation after consulting with your pediatrician.
